Our Schools

At Westbury School, we're all about creating a supportive, inclusive environment for young people aged 11-18 with learning disabilities. As part of the Unique Care Group, we specialize in working with students who have various diagnoses related to autistic spectrum conditions (ASC), as well as additional needs like ADHD, dyslexia, anxiety disorder, and emotional challenges.

Our mission is simple but powerful: to transform the lives of these young people by helping them grow personally, socially, and emotionally. We aim to guide them in every aspect of their lives and help them achieve their best outcomes, tailoring our approach to meet each student's unique needs.

Here's what we offer at Westbury School:

  • Specialized Learning Environment: Our school is designed to meet both the educational and social needs of our students. We focus on helping each young person develop the skills they need to become independent learners, reducing anxiety, and reaching their full potential.

  • High-Quality, Personalized Education: We provide education that's customized to each student's learning style and social needs. This helps them achieve success, build confidence, and earn nationally recognized qualifications and accreditations.

  • Tailored Learning, Care, and Therapy Programs:

    • We create individualized plans to ensure each student makes progress across all areas of the curriculum, including social and emotional development.

    • Our broad curriculum includes a mix of subjects and activities, with bespoke timetables that suit each student's needs and interests.

  • An Inclusive Approach: We encourage our young people to learn and socialize in ways that work best for them, supporting their long-term well-being and personal growth.

  • A Holistic Ethos: At Westbury, we focus on developing each student's social, moral, spiritual, and cultural awareness. We support them as they explore their own beliefs and values within the context of the community.

Our curriculum is diverse, covering a wide range of subjects, including:

  • Maths
